Rudolph was finally captured on May 31, 2003. He was seen lurking behind a grocery store by a police officer in Murphy, North Carolina. After a short chase, he was arrested, though his identity was not discovered until after his fingerprints were taken. He accepted a plea agreement in April of 2005 during the jury selection of his trial, providing authorities with the locations of over 250 pounds of explosives he'd hidden in North Carolina, in exchange for not getting sentenced to death. After admitting his guilt in all the bombings (basically, he took the opportunity to gloat about his crimes and rant about the evils of abortion, homosexuals, government employees, police, the New World Order, and non-psychotic Christians), Rudolph was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole, plus 120 years, plus $2.3 million in damages. He ain't getting out any time soon, and that's a damn good thing.
